Have you ever tried Chorizo and Potato Pambazos? Here’s a homemade version of an iconic Mexico City street food known as pambazos, made with a savory filling of V&V Supremo® Chorizo (Pork, Beef or Chicken) and potatoes, crumbled V&V Supremo® Queso Fresco, and V&V Supremo® Crema Supremo® Brand Mexican Sour Cream.

40 Min 4 servings

Ingredients

Salsa

Filling

Directions

  1. 1

    Place the peppers in a saucepan and add enough water to cover. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook for 5 minutes, or until tender. Transfer the peppers to a blender and reserve ½ cup of the cooking water. Add the onion, garlic, salt, and reserved water, place the lid on the blender, and blend on high speed for 2 minutes. Work the puree through a mesh strainer into a bowl and discard the skins and seeds. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Preheat a saucepan with 1 Tbsp. of olive oil over medium heat for 2 minutes. Add the salsa and cook for 5 minutes. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Remove the plastic casing from the V&V Supremo® Chorizo (Pork, Beef or Chicken). In a large pan over medium heat, cook the chorizo for 2 minutes, crumbling it with a spoon. Add the onion and sauté for 1 minute. Mix in the potatoes. Cover the pan and cook for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally. Divide the mixture into 4 portions and set aside.

  4. 4

    Preheat a medium pan with ½ Tbsp. of olive oil over medium heat for 1 minute.

  5. 5

    Brush each side of the bread with the salsa. Toast the bread in the pan for about 1 minute on each side. Remove from the pan and fill with 1 portion of the chorizo mixture. Add 2 Tbsp. of V&V Supremo® Crema Supremo® Brand Mexican Sour Cream and ¼ cup of crumbled V&V Supremo® Queso Fresco. Add a layer of lettuce and top with the other slice of bread. Serve and enjoy!
